As Christians, we do not want to be ignorant of deep truths of God. We want to move beyond the elementary things of this world and reach upward to touch transcendent the One. There is only one way to that, and only a few have found it. Nothing beats good old fashioned Bible study. But many people do not want to take that route. For them, bypassing Scripture is the true way to understanding. In this message, Dr. Sproul teaches us about the ancient false teaching of Gnosticism and how it has resurfaced again in our day.
